SATURN
Saturn (the roman version of greek god Cronus) was one of the founding deities of the Roman people. He had been a deity on mount olympus, but quarreled with Jupiter who expelled him from the home of the gods. He hid in Italy, and the place where he settled became known as Latium, from the latin word meaning *** to hide***. It was that he built a village by the River Tiber, on the site where Rome was later to stand.
Here, during the properous time known as yhe Golden Age he showed the local how best to cultivate the ground and how to grow vines and produce wine. The Romans worshipped him at a festival called Saturnalia, held in the month of December, when masters became servants and servants master.
Because he was a god of cultivation, Saturn was usaully depicted carrying a scythe or a sickle. The barrels signifies his role as a grower of grapes for wine.
